Sega Logistic Service will release, on the 17th of February, a Neo Geo Stick-shaped controller for PS2. The announcement was made at the KOF anniversary party on the 22nd.
Like the Neo Geo Pad released with KOF 94 Re Bout, the stick will have 4 more buttons to suit the PS2 layout. Unfortunately, unlike the pad, the stick's new buttons seem quite unpractical, and games using more than 4 buttons (like the SNKP games released on AW) might not play very well with the new setup. On the other hand, the old Neo Geo games soon to be re-released on PS2 (KOF, Last Blade or Garô) should get the best out of the stick.
